Blas Cantó has wanted to comment openly about his time in Auryn in 'Ex. Life After' , the interview program of Ana Milán on Cuatro, and what was really lived behind the group's success. The artist has revealed that four of the five members were homosexual, but that for years they chose to hide it due to “fear of easy attack”, revealing a reality very different from the image they projected. 

Far from pointing to the industry, Cantó points to something more uncomfortable: the pressure often came from within. Comments like “put down the pen” or the need to fit into a specific image marked a stage in which, as he acknowledges, the hardest part was that these demands came from his own environment. Even so, he assures that there was a silent pact among them: to protect themselves and not expose themselves more than necessary. 

The impact of that past has not disappeared. The singer recognizes that that "defensive education" is still present today, to the point that he avoids gestures of affection in public with his partner, a reflection of a fear that, although it has changed, remains latent. His confession once again brings to the table the pressure that many artists still feel in the music industry, with issues that should not generate any fear.
